Thanks Ankit

  • Welcome to ELU Ankit, this question is a duplicate of Official e-mail. Because you can start your e-mail with any words that make sense in the English language, so what you are really asking here is what is the correct way to address a formal e-mail, and that is answered in the linked post. – Gary May 18 '17 at 08:35

No, it would not be either formal or natural.

This line in the email is called a pleasantry. Suggestions for appropriate pleasantries in a formal email include:

  • I hope you’re well
  • I hope all is well
  • I hope the day/week is treating you well
  • I hope all is well since we last spoke
grateful
